I've experimented with literate programming with org mode in emacs a few times, but every time its just been hard to make it stick. I don't really know why. I think it may have to do with the fact that its weird to have your project code in one giant file. I mean, you could do something differently than that I would think, but that's how I've always seen it.
I actually just read the ghc chapter of aosa. Since then, I've been considering adopting this note style. It certainly seems like it could work out.
For me, its clear that there is a lot of intrinsic information I would like to capture in some way, but it really doesn't work as self-documenting code. Some people say that stuff should go into commit messages, but I really think that has limited value.
I dunno. I wish more people were working on this problem. I understand that unison has some kinda interesting takes on this, but I don't actually remember what they are off the top of my head.
